Original post: Would prefer an Old World Bordeaux vs. this. Fell short in all measures. Correction: Actually drank 2003 Colgin IX Estate Syrah. No wonder would prefer Old World. At this juncture my best descriptor "BIG".b

Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From DMG. Fully mature, polished palate, good tertiary complexity with baking spices, toast, eucalyptus.

tasted blind nose- gorgeous raspberry and blackberry aromas, cocoa mouth - spiced broad mouthcoating ultraripe red and dark berry fruits attack the palate in a way that to me screams out Napa. Pure hedonism in a glass, no need for food here. my only critique would be that it comes across as a tad confected. but still lovely. I guessed Bryant family (close?)

A gorgeous wine with lush fruit but a solid backbone. In its prime.

Slow oxed for 5 hours. A good marriage between bordeaux and napa style. Very round and plush with berries, violets, vanilla and flowers.
